charm status does not check if telegraf service is still running

[Samuel Allan]

If the telegraf service crashes, the charm will continue to report that telegraf is running. There are no regular status checks as part of update_status.

@rgildein, if you don't want this in the charm, could you provide an explanation for this please?

Hi @swalladge, I was doing a bug cleanup for all the charms that will be
released on 23.04 release and I must make mistake here. This is a valid bug.
Sorry and thank you for reporting.

Hmm in testing a fix for this, I discovered that the hooks like influxdb_api_output are run on every update-status hook, resulting in unecessary repeated processing, and the needs_reload flag being set on every update-status. Is this expected?
